If someone were experiencing a mental health crisis or developing a mental health problem, would you know what to do? MHFA is similar to Emergency First Aid – in both cases members of the general public can offer immediate aid and support a person to get the help that they need.

MHFA saves and improves lives. Just as with accidents and medical emergencies, responding quickly and appropriately to a person developing mental health problems or in crisis often prevents the situation from worsening and determines how quickly they get help and/or recover.

Lunch will be provided. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance and a copy of the MHFA manual. Price: £75.00.

It allows individuals to gain awareness and new skills, and helps organisations to improve mental health in the workplace. The course is for anyone aged working with young people aged12-21 and for anyone over the age of 16 themselves.

The feedback for YMHFA has been extremely positive. Lunch will be provided. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance and a copy of the MHFA manual. Price: £75.00.
